What this report covers
Technologies: Autonomous Systems, Robotics & Swarms. A sourced, structured 5-page analysis for European defence and dual-use decision-makers, from the DFM research desk and built on official and primary sources.
About this report
Europe is pursuing several ambitious next-generation joint defence programs to develop new capabilities, with the goal of overcoming past fragmentation in its industrial base. Notable projects include the Franco-German-Spanish Future Combat Air System ( FCAS ), the Franco-German Main Ground Combat System ( MGCS ), the Eurodrone unmanned aerial vehicle, and the European Patrol Corvette.
Each of these is a multinational effort intended to pool expertise and share costs. Their economic and industrial profiles illustrate both the potential and challenges of European cooperation.
Key questions this report answers
- How do the FCAS, MGCS, Eurodrone and European Patrol Corvette programmes aim to overcome fragmentation in Europe's defence industrial base?
- What do the differing economic and industrial profiles of these four multinational programmes reveal about the cost-sharing logic of cooperation?
- Which governance and workshare challenges most threaten the delivery of the Franco-German-Spanish and Franco-German joint efforts?
- How do these next-generation joint programmes reshape supplier positioning and industrial participation across member states?
Who it's for
Strategy, corporate-development and investment teams that need an ecosystem-level view — budgets, industrial capacity and technology landscapes — before committing capital or capacity.
